Parian ware for sure. Nothing like it in my Bennington book, not even the pattern. Perhaps it's English. Several mid to late 19th century...
I could certainly be wrong, but IMHO definitely not Steuben. Every Steuben bowl I've had was blown and had a ground and polished pontil, never a...
If you do a google images search, you'll see Wedgwood did this in green as well. I had some green Wedgwood plates with a large leaf in the center,...
I know Wedgwood did this pattern, but none of these pieces are marked. I'm not sure the handled dish is by the same maker--the green color is a...
Glad to see everyone on this board! Hurricane Matthew did a number on us--just got power back! No cable TV but otherwise things are normal. I've...
Thanks so much!
Yes, it's alexandrite. The bowl is a lot more very pale blue in natural light.
Box lot find, didn't realize it was neodymium (bluer in person than first 2 pics show) until I moved it from one room to another with different...
Thank you all for the great information and discussion! Sorry it's taken me a day to express that. I'm in SC, not far from the coast (and have a...
Thank you, Ladybranch for going to all the trouble! The mark showed up in my photo, and although I've gone over the back of the plate again and...
Large - 13.75" diameter - cased glass charger with clear rim. Slightly inverted dome shape. Large clear polished pontil bottom. Any ideas on the...
Thanks, Tallcakes! If I ever receive an award, it'll be for worst internet searcher! I looked on R yesterday and didn't see these pieces. I think...
I see this set on various sites ID'd as Imperial Candlewick, but it doesn't look anything like the set shown in my "Elegant Glassware of the...
Thank you, Janet! I'd checked Walter's book but forgot about the online forums. I also just noticed the main flower in the pattern appears to be a...
Hoping Walter or someone familiar with Italian pottery can help ID the maker of a tea set. The pattern is, I think, commonly called Nove Rose....
Try Mother's Chrome Polish. Look for it in the automotive section. It won't work on really sick glass, but I've had success using it on surface...
I think the glaze is called Albany slip.
The shape certainly looks like Steuben. And I agree with Quirky - look very carefully for a signature, perhaps the fleur-de-lis mark, and it may...
StarKist tuna baker minus the metal frame.
Thank you for all this info! I have a large set of Navarre that belonged to my MIL. It was one of her chosen patterns when she married in 1940....
